One unique item in regards to the album ‘Montrose‘ is that it was not only a debut album for Montrose but also a debut for Sam Hagar ( as known back then).

‘Montrose’ LP, Wikipedia

As we eventually found out Sammy went on to have a huge solo career and also served up some lead vocals for Van Halen.

The album ‘Montrose’ got limited radio airplay but is still to this day a collected masterpiece for the classic rock fan. Most of the songs were written by both Hagar and Ronnie Montrose (founder/guitar).

Original LP Track List:

“Rock The nation”

“Bad Motor Scooter”

“Space Station #5″

“I Don’t Want It”

Side 2:

“Good Rockin’ Tonight”

“Rock Candy”

“One Thing on My Mind”

“Make It Last”

Released in both U.S. and U.K. October 17th, 1973, charted at #133 in U.S. and #43 in U.K.

Ronnie Montrose passed away March 3rd, 2012.

Happy 40th anniversary as we revisit 1973 with some great landmark classic rock releases.
